Black Friday iPhone 4S Deals

There is a ton of interest in iPhone 4S deals this year, but that same huge interest will actually work against Black Friday discounts. When you include the late launch of the iPhone 4S, you can write off the possibility of finding an iPhone 4S cheaper than $199 on Black Friday.

Last year we saw several iPhone Black Friday Deals, dropping $100 off the iPhone 4 and $50 off the iPhone 3GS, but these deals were on refurbished units. Because the iPhone 4S has only been available for a little over a month, there is not the same availability of refurbished iPhone 4S models available.

If you do go out looking for an iPhone 4S deal on Black Friday, you may see some retailers use common Black Friday Ripoffs to make you think you are getting a good deal. Be on the lookout for bundles you don’t need.

Black Friday iPhone Deals You Will See

The iPhone 4S is too new to get a price drop, but if you are looking for an iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS, you may see some deals. AT&T already offers the iPhone 3GS for free with a new two-year contract, so you don’t need to wait for Black Friday to find a deal there.

What you may find though, is a bunch of Black Friday deals on the iPhone 4. The starting price for the iPhone 4 on AT&T, Sprint and Verizon is $99 for the 8GB model. This price might be up for a small discount on Black Friday. We may also see refurbished 16GB iPhone 4 models get a price cut, to $99.
